Sponsor's own description
Former clinical studies have reported the superiority of the landmark guided paramedian approach above the classical landmark guided midline approach for the continuous spinal anesthesia especially in the elderly. On the other hand, more recent clinical trials have suggested that the use of ultrasound to guide spinal anesthesia will be safer and more effective than the conventional palpation-guided technique. The aim of this study will be to compare the conventional "blind" landmark paramedian approach to the ultrasound "modern" guided midline approach for the continuous spinal anesthesia in the elderly with hip fractures. Patients will randomly divided into two groups: Group(PML): will undergo conventional landmark guided paramedian continuous spinal anesthesia Group (MUS): will undergo ultrasound guided midline continuous spinal anesthesia
